Road and Airfield Surface Characteristics - Test Methods - Part 7: Irregularity Measurement of Pavement Courses - The Straightedge Test
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13036-7 standard focuses on the measurement of irregularities on pavement courses using the straightedge test. The document provides details on the standardized apparatus and test method for measuring single irregularities in new surface courses of roads, airfields, and other trafficked surfaces, as well as in-service surfaces. It should be noted that this test method does not provide information on the overall profile or general unevenness of the pavement.
The standard emphasizes that single irregularities are random in nature, and therefore, no routine sampling rates or precision data are specified. The goal of this test method is to specifically identify and measure irregularities caused by quality defects in the pavement surface. By providing a standardized approach, the DIN EN 13036-7 standard aims to ensure consistent and accurate measurements of pavement irregularities, which in turn can contribute to the evaluation of the structural integrity and performance of the surfaces.
